Raiders signed RG Gabe Jackson to a five-year, $56 million extension through 2022.

He got $26 million guaranteed. Including Jackson's 2017 salary, his new contract is worth $56.705 million, and locks up the No. 81 overall pick of the 2014 draft through 2022. Aside from extending Derek Carr, Jackson was the Raiders' offseason priority. Headed into his age-26 season, Jackson has been one of the league's better guards since his rookie year. He's a road paver in the passing game, and an integral part of the Raiders' elite blocking. Jackson has never missed a game with injury. Jun 29 - 6:46 PM

Anderson was told a "deal will likely get done." Set to be a free agent after the season, Jackson is next in line after the Raiders extended Derek Carr last week. Anderson reports that Jackson is looking to exceed the $10 million per year in new money Joel Bitonio got from the Browns in March. Kevin Zeitler is currently the NFL's highest paid guard at $12 million a year with Jackson's teammate Kelechi Osemele next up at $11.7 million. Jun 29 - 12:48 PM

Jackson is next in line after the Raiders extend Derek Carr. A starter his first three years, Jackson is one of the top pass-blocking guards in the league. He should command more than the four-year, $29 million deal Brian Winters got from the Jets this offseason. Jun 21 - 5:14 PM

Cordarrelle Patterson hauled in all four of his targets for 97 yards in the Raiders' Week 13 win over the Giants.

Oakland looked to get Patterson involved early, giving him an end around on the opening play of the second drive, hitting him on a screen the very next snap, and giving him a carry out of the backfield on the play after that. He only created eight yards on those three touches, but he had a big play left in the chamber. With the Giants within three points late in the third, Patterson went for 59 yards on a screen to help set up the game-sealing score. It is the second game with a big play in a row for Patterson, but he can be left on the wire with Michael Crabtree and perhaps Amari Cooper due back next week.

Cooper played 14 snaps last week against the Chiefs before aggravating his ankle issue. The Raiders were aggressive to play him through the high-ankle sprain. Cooper is unlikely to be a factor the rest of the fantasy season.
